One of the key milestones for adolescent girls is the onset and regularity of menstruation, which serves as a strong indicator of reproductive and general health. However, in recent years, there has been an alarming rise in obesity among adolescents due to lifestyle and dietary changes. This increase in obesity has had a significant impact on menstrual health, leading to various disorders such as irregular cycles, amenorrhea, dysmenorrhea, and menorrhagia. The biological link between obesity and menstrual irregularities is largely mediated by hormonal imbalances, insulin resistance, and inflammation. This review explores the correlation between menstrual problems and obesity in adolescents, outlines the contributing factors, psychological implications, diagnostic strategies, and effective interventions. It also highlights the vital role healthcare professionals, particularly nurses, play in managing and preventing such health concerns. A comprehensive, multidisciplinary approach involving schools, families, and the healthcare system is essential for promoting adolescent health and well-being.
